Should religion be eliminated

[Taz]

"Word"?, what are you, black for a day?

Jesus is your crutch, thanks for clearing that up.

Conceit is your crutch; and unlike Jesus, it makes you neither a better person nor a happier one.

Conceit, isn't that a bible word?

No, it's just an English word. The Bible actually calls it "Pride", and it's considered the deadliest of the Seven Deadly Sins.

So having pride in an accomplishment, for example, is a sin?

Only if it separates you from God. It’s like you are looking to only follow the letter of the law. No wonder you are so clueless.

How would it separate me from god? And why would god even give a shit?

 

[Taz]

I’m not that well read at all.

No kidding!

Sin is anything which distances or separates us from God.

Why does it matter? You can argue God has no preference for an outcome because he has given us free will and let’s us choose but I believe that we get enough feedback from the law of compensation which is pruning us that he does care. But it is only when you seek a relationship with God that you discover that he does.

Which is even more surprising given what I know. I don’t believe in coincidences.

You seriously think that a god would care what each individual does? And what if I sin but don't think that it separates me from god? Who decides?

Where's the proof?

Hitler thought he was right.

No, we can tell that right now.

Adam did you eat the apple?

The woman you made gave it to me.

Yet he hid when he heard God coming.

I couldn’t be happier for you to believe that.

What you are intending for evil, God is using for good.

So that's a real story that really happened, and not allegorical? Any proof this actually happened?

It is an allegorical account of a truth about men. We know right from wrong and when we violate it rather than abandoning the concept of right and wrong we rationalize we didn’t violate it. We see it all the time. People who have an external locus of control do it daily.

The fact that we all have such strong feelings about righteousness is proof of a loving and good God.

 

[ding]

In fact it is such an important truth that it was the first thing ancient man recorded about us.

Right and wrong are subjective. I personally think that Adam was right to eat the apple.

Hitler thought that what he was doing was righteous. So also subjective.

It is people’s inability to abandon that concept and their rationalization that matters.

So god's sitting around judging everyone on whether their reasons are bullshit or not?

I doubt that very much. He is sitting around as you put it waiting for us to take the first step towards him.

You said "their rationalization that matters", matters to whom?
